Primary muscles: Abdominals

How to do it

  1. Take a slightly wider than hip distance stance with your knees slightly bent.
  2. Place your right hand on your right hip to support the spine.
  3. Raise your left arm in a vertical line and place your left hand behind your head. Keep it there as you incline your torso to the right.
  4. Keep your weight evenly distributed between both legs (don't lean into your left hip). Switch sides.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Standing Lateral Stretch from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Abdominals volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
